About Us

Idaho Chapter – Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation

The Idaho Chapter was first chartered on October 19, 1985, and has had a strong history of
involvement in Idaho teacher education workshops as well as the study of and work on the Lewis and Clark
Trail. It is one of 35 chapters affiliated with the Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation and has hosted
an Annual Foundation meeting in 1990 and in 2010.

Each Chapter charges a membership
fee, which generally includes a local Chapter newsletter (membership to the Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage
Foundation is usually not included in a Chapter membership).

The Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, was formed
in 1969 as a result of a US Congressional Commission recommendation to form a non-profit organization
to preserve the story of the Lewis & Clark Expedition and the route it traveled. As our parent
organization, the Foundation oversees the general operation of the local Chapters and Regional Meetings,
helps coordinate preservation of the Lewis & Clark Trail, and sponsors the annual meetings that are held
in various historical locations throughout the US.

The LCTHF charges a separate membership fee, which
includes two quarterly publications: The Orderly Report newsletter and the We Proceeded On magazine. You must be a member of the LCTHF to receive these two wonderful publications.
